I am fascinated by the ways of doing things. I'm using different levels and views of the image, different connections of expressions and visualisation of a feeling, a mentality or a process of thoughts. They are coming out of a view on life through the living process. - Visualisation of unthought things, the limitation of visualisation put into poetry or out of reflections of so called rules and laws on any level. Exercises to preserve the fantasy and imagination (1200 oil drawings and etchings).

Mentality : form follows substance and content and not vice versa.

My language is visual and German. I just can try to give you some words. Your brain will make out of it what it can and wants.

I discovered early in the 70ties: contents are coming out of my way of living and then the form meets me: I meet the form. I never construct it.
